Next race
The next race for the TEAM HRC will be the Merzouga Rally. Starts next October 21th from Erfoud and finishes October 26th. There are two of our riders entered: Hélder Rodrigues and Sam Sunderland.

So it looks like Goncalves is not running and may be savouring his double victory

That is very interesting - presumably on the same bikes they ran in the Maroc? This is essentially a great 'Dakar' test - two week-long rallies back to back, with a rest day[off] in the middle... of course the combined overall race distance won't be quite as much as the Dakar, but nonetheless, it's going to prove the reliability and 'ride-ability' of the bikes over two weeks... nice.

Same bikes but probably new engines, although not confirmed.

This is an suumption based on a photograph the other day of an HRC guy carrying one and 2 more lined up on the truck.

At the time Speed was riding also, so 3 engines, 3 bikes - sort of made sense, especially as there were no swoops on the rally
